Wife witnesses husband's fall to his death

Inzell - A couple who had lost their way from their mountain biking tour, decided to take a route that was suggested on the Internet but in actuality was not suitable for riding.  The riders had to either carry or push their bikes on the "Plattinger Path".  The 38-year-old husband suddenly lost his footing and fell over 150 meters to his death.

His wife looked on with horror as she lost her husband.  Mountain rescue could not get to him and his body was recovered by helicopter.
